In fairness, the Soviet Union fell when I was in grade school, which means I got laid off from my first job during the dot com crash, went to grad school, and re-entered the market when the housing crisis finally caught up with Silicon Valley.

Worse, I know someone that was supposed to retire in a few years, and he was laid off once for each Republican president going back to Regan.

Of course, when all that happened, the planet’s ecosystem wasn’t collapsing.
